So I guess Mookie will be giving you your snazzy year in review. I can still give you a few awesome tracks from this year, though. Some? Are definitely repeats of what's already been posted, but I won't assume you've been reading this all year. That would be pretty stupid of me.

Before all that? I do want to share another song - not from this year - with you all. As you know, I have been posting a little of the stuff Deerhunter has made. "Disappearing Ink" is definitely amongst my top songs for this year, by the way. Well, from last year's album Microcastle, Deerhunter released one stellar tune in "Nothing Ever Happened". The real highlight of the tune is the guitars and then the keyboards within the last minute to minute and a half. Epic shit. Don't believe me? Take a listen for yourself.

So how about those top songs? Well, these aren't really going to be much different than most of the lists you'd see out there, I'd imagine. First off, I have to say that the best video this year? We Have Band's "You Came Out" is the clear winner here. In case you haven't seen it yet? Here it is.

Now, on to what I deem the best tracks of the year. There really isn't a challenge on the best cut of the year. For real. Now, I'm not the biggest Animal Collective fan. They're a little hit or miss at times for me, which is probably a good thing. It keeps my mind clear to how I view all the tracks. Now, "My Girls" is just stellar in about every regard. So It's an easy choice as the top track of the year.

And now the normal bullshit thing to say - BUY STUFF! Seriously! And hell, if not? Donate some money to Mookie, who runs this site. He busts his ass for you guys to bring you some awesome music, and I feel quite honored that he asked me to help him out. So yeah.....do that.
